My First Furniture Redo!

I have been inspired by seeing the amazing pieces that have been bought at thrift stores and turned into gorgeous pieces!  I have always wanted to try it but haven't had the chance to get by the thrift store!  I was recently given 2 pieces of furniture that were my hubby's grandparents.  They are not really my style but we kept them for sentimental value. 
This is a little accent table,  it is very country and I am a modern girl.  I was not really sure what to do to the table other than sanding and painting.  It helped though! So here it is.....


The 2nd piece of furniture was something I like to call the "Mini Dresser".  I have no idea what it is, so I had to come up with my own name.  It is a great little accent piece but again, not my style at all!

Again, very country!  I was able to do a little more with this one.  We did A LOT of sanding then 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of paint. I played it safe with black paint because it was my first redo so I didn't want to get too daring!  I was able to get new hardware to dress it up a bit.  I kind of went for craftsman style hardware.  I love this piece and it makes me want to do more! Tada....
